Link Building this week (41.2008)
Google shared some info on the topic of links last week, starting with a post about internal link architecture, which was followed by a post about outbound links. The last link related post touched the subject of internal linking, but was pretty disappointing.
It was pretty hard to miss, but in case you didn’t notice: the SMX East was last week. Unfortunately, I wasn’t there (I’ll be in London next month, though), but luckily there are always folks covering the conference. Virginia Nussey attended to the Link Building Fundamentals session, while Tamar Weinberg covered the Internal Linking Tactics. The Maine SEO blog listed a few highlights of the External Linking Tactics session.
And also:
- SEOmoz launched their new (and awesome!) link tool: Linkscape, which can be used for several link building related purposes
- Julie Joyce explains how (and why) you should Personalize your link building
- Traffikd mentions that a good link bait campaign starts with the Most important phase: idea development
- Ann Smarty listed 7 Myths and educated theories behind sitewide links
- Angela Moore provided 10 Tips for doing link development research
- Gyutae Park tried to determine how you can Measure the value of a blog link
- Eric Enge wrote about the Fundamentals of link building
- Angela Moore Interviewed the author of this blog

Hi Wiep,
Nice roundup post, I’d love to hear your opinoin on Gyuates Park’s post about link value as it doesn’t seem very accurate to me.
Also could you consider my blog for next week/month’s roundup?
Thanks
Danny, Gyutae does make a few good points and his post shows how difficult it is to value specific types of links.
Oh, and as a matter of fact, I just subscribed to your RSS earlier this week ;)
Danny,
The method I describe in my article is for determining whether or not a blog link is sending value – this can be done by quickly checking to see if the site being linked to is ranking for the link anchor text. This is much easier to do using long tail keywords only found in the anchor text and not on the site’s page copy.
If a blog is sending link equity, then the sites being linked to should rank for the long tail link anchor text. Make sense?
Thanks Wiep for including me on this list!
